Race, Nation, Class: Ambiguous Identities

Verso 1991

ISBN 9780860915423

In this important book, Balibar and Wallerstein explore the persistence of racism in contemporary society and analyze whether racism is an inherent problem connected to class inequalities and the identity politics of the modern nation-state. These considerations are structured around a dialogue between Balibar and Wallerstein, who agree upon a certain understanding of the modernity of racism and its relationship with capitalism and class politics.
